A Lurker's History of Paradox and the Paradox Community * by Stacy Rowley The Early Windows Days: the People (the Product Add-ins) Software add-ins ground to a halt, as developers worked to digest a new product. Roy Woll of Woll-to-Woll Software, produced some for documentation (ezDoc) and dialog boxes (ezDialog), but the new era was rough on those who had sold add-ins previously. With a new product, training and books were the chief add-ins. Training carried over for those people and organizations doing that for the DOS product, such as Kevin Smith, Brian Smith, Jim Kocis, Dan Ehrmann and Dan Paolini. Early in the life of a new software product, a dilemma exists. Books are sought, yet authors have little experience and that with beta software. Two of the earlier books were Paradox for Windows: Power Programming by a group of Paradox developers: Vince Kellen, Gail Meisner, David Randolph, William Yock, and William Todd and Paradox for Windows Developer's Guide by Lee Atkinson, Tom Hovis, and Randy Magruder. Alan Zenreich and Jim Kocis, augmented this time by Mark Pauker, started down the path of a definitive work for PW in the vein of their DOS books. After several adjustments for newer PW versions and working to pin down the elusive event model, they decided it was best to stop work. Besides the Paradox Informant (with Jerry Coffey as Editor-in-Chief), Databased Advisor magazine regularly published Paradox articles by Brian Smith, Dan Ehrmann, and Tim Colling.
